Addressed '7l a Lady to her Friund, en her Marriage. Thou:;h untuneful her sting, on this day can the Muse, Inattentive to Hymen, her labours refuse, Wheta Nal tire I in. pleasir4g occasion delights, And Friendship is called to assist the glad rites? What distance denies let thy 'verges impart; Accept the warns wishes that flow from the heart; And if e'er my petition is granted b j ' Alay ELIZA be ble,st iri the conjugal Stale. Tas not for title, nor Sigh after wealth', In exchange I implore satisfattion and health; I'lut this to my prayer let not Fortune deny, All that Prudence can want, or Contentment supply. Adorn'tl With whatevet• perfection can please, Mood-nature. complacency, sweetness, and case; 'Tis your's to improve every moment of life, And the mistress shall still be ador'd in the Wife. Yet think not to live unacquainted With pain, Or iinAgine that Pleasure despotic shall reign By comparison only our pleasures are Shorn, And that In east ne'er knew transport to sorrow unknown. Of evils Mortality must have a share, And ills have o'ertaten the young and the fair; May those by kind Heav'n for Ebtz.t design'd, Be intended to teach not to tot tore her mind. Let Reason and Judgment their empire maintain, Each trifling contention with wis.lom disdain; For the subject of discord ne'er knows where to end, And a trifle might injure the peace of my friend. With tempers and fancies exactly the same, The mutual affections shall fan the bri;ht flame; And Time his unwearied attention employ To complete your fond wishes, and add to your joy. When, with years slow declining, no longer the rose On your cheeks shall, unrivalled, its blushes disclose, Think that. Beauty's frail triumph must cease to engage, But that Virtue has charms which are strengthen'd by age. Ye Pow'rs I invoke on whose care we depend, On the Bride and the Bridegroom propitious attend, By ev'ry kind omen their union approve,' And let Happiness crown the enjoyments of Love. We are much indebted to the Correspondent who fi roured us with these interesting Stanzas, and hope for the continuance of his kind attention.

It is with great pain thet we cotnrhunicate the fono , t - ing particulars Of flirl.“ &stressing casual ty which occurred ai Nottinghatti On Aionday !ast " NottinghaM, Tuelithe mOrnitig, Sept. 99. " A most dreadful calamity occurred here yeSterday at the Canal Company's Wharf, by the explosion of a quantity of apowder on hoard a haat. The vessel was lying in the oder the arch of the Cothreinv's warehouse, arid ~n e men we employed in landine, the cargo, when in an itiatatit an explos a i took place which threw the whole town into C"O -sternatioo, and spread the most extensive .:era tat ion through out Ihr neighb , mrhood. The reori'rt was air tretoendoos a; to he heard at a Instance of many miles, and every !noise in the town was shaken as if by an earthquake. The Company's warehouse, with all its contents, Was completely blown into the air, and not a vestige of the building rerhains. The fragments were scattered over the meadows to a considerable distance. and the boat *as io part shivered to pieces. and the rest sunk. Several roof; were carried off from the ad joining buildings, lead and tiles torn off. windoW fraMes blown out , and hundreds of Windows demolished. But tbcmost dreadful part of .the calamity is the extensive destruction 'if huMan life, no less than elevest persons already ascertained hating been precipitated into eternity, besides two taken to tire hospital who are not expected to survive. The man gled remains of eight men and a boy had been collected last night, and two more were knoWn to he buried anioogst the ruins. The Wawa presented a shockiug spectacle ; two men were found lying on the edge of the boat, With their heads completely taken off; two 9thers lay near the gateway of the yard, with their skulls dashed to pieces and otherwise disfigured ; tier) other bodies were (mind in the meadows, havistr, been blown across the Canal, one to a distance of about one hundred yards, the other more than three hundred, and the limbs and flesh scatteredithont in different directions; another was ta'sen out of the ruins a complete trunk, with both legs arid arms blown off; and the remaining two mangled in a manner equally shocking. Most of them were married men and had families. The accident (as related by a boatman belonging to another vessel lying near, and who happily es caped with a few slight bruises,) originated by a youth of the name of Cross, the son of a boat-owner, imprudently fetching a hot cruder from another boat, and applying it to some loose powder, which lay scattered about. with the view of having a " flash," as he termed it. The consequence was, that the fire communicated instantly by a sort of train to the cask from whence it had dropped out, which ignited, and setting fire to fire other barrels, the whole exploded with a most tremendous noise.— The damage is estimated at many thousand pounds— some calculate so high as 30,0001. hot certainly it is very great. Mr. Wilkes, the Agent of the Company, was fortu nately from home on a journey, and Mr Fawbert, the book keeper, had only left the premises about some limitless not more than ten minutes before the accident happened. The explosion took place about three o'clock in the afternoon.— Amongst the property destroyed was a large quantity of corn in the warehouse in sacks and loose. The papers and books were fortunately deposited in a counting-house at some dis tance from the warehouse, which escaped destruction. A waggon belonging to Mr. Hooton was standing in the yard, and the waggoner, who was [rear the shaft horse at the time, lost his life ; the waggon was utterly destroyed, and two of the horses in the team killed on the spot.— The boy that was killed was a son of Mr. Howell ; he was going on board with the intent of gathering some of the loose powder, when the explosion took place ; his two companions (boys), who were waiting for him at a short distance, happily escaped without other injury than being slightly struck in the face. Tire other sufferers were princi pally boatmen and labourers about the whatf. Mr. Wilkes house, which stands near the gateway, sustained comparatively little injury; the windows and the furniture in the house were for the most part demolished ; Mrs. Wilkes was thrown with great violence from a table to the other side of the house, but escaped without other injury than what arose from the sudden ness of the shock and the fright. One person crawled out of the ruin; unhurt, owing to several bettors falling C 1 .095 g ays over him, which fortunately preserved his life. The bodies of the sufferers now Re at the Navigation tots for the Corouer's Inquest. Their names are not yet ascertained." OLD BAILEY.

DRURY-LANE TIigATRE. GENERAL ASSENMX OF I'LL. PROPRIETORS 07 I)ItURY-LANE I HEAT Yest , rday the Annual Gent ral \leeting• of the Company of Proprietors of Tl,4atro w-is held in t 1 ,e Grand Saloon at .ire Theatre, for tltt purpose of electing sit Members of the Gene ra) Committee in the room of six who were goicig out by ballot. The bi:siness of the day was opened a little Attir One o'clock, by Mr. P. Moose, who pro pc;hed that Sir THOMAS TU,UTON, Bart, should t it'e the Chair. Sir THom As declined the honour Rt first, on the ground, that he, being a Member of the General COtrirnirtee, Might. in the course of the proceed ings, have occa9ion to speak in detence of that Committee, which he ought not with propriety to do from the Chair. This objection was answered by Mr. P. MooBE, who Observed, that it Would not be improper to give even from the Chai:• any explanation of his conduct as a Member of the General Committee which 11 might deem necessary. IVith this un derstanding Sir T. Turton took the Chair. The lion. G. LAMB was about to present a Re port from the Select Committee, when he was in terrupted by The Cliatr.MAN, who observed, that the ad vertisetnent by which the Meeting was called should be first read. This having been done by Mr. C. W. Wail, the Secretat y, Mr. LIME again came forward, and opposed the Report of the Select Committee. The CHAIRMAN observed, that in his opinion the more regular mode would be to receive the Report of the Sub• Committee, if they had any to make. The SECRETARY then proceeded to read the Report.—lt purported to be a Report from the Sub to the General Committee ; and after son►c preliminaries of form, it went on to state that the Committee had conceived it to be for the general, interest of the Proprietors to reduce the prices of admision to the boxes and pit, which they had reason to hope would be found productive of con siderable advantage. They had also come to the resolution of placing the stage under the ma nagement of Mr. Stephen Kemble, in whose zeal and talents they placed the greatest confidence.— They had, for the entertainment of the public, engaged a highly respectable company of per formers, whose talents, they trusted, would be found deserving of public patronage. At the same time that they felt satisfaction in stating this, they could not refrain from expressing regret at losing the services of some individuals, who were known to be deservedly great popular favourites ; but this nas occasioned by the necessity of re duction, and the incompatibility of acceding to terms which were inconsistent with the pre sent expenee and economy of the Theatre.— The expenses for the present season were cal enlated below the lowest receipt of the treasury at any season in late years; and in order to give the Proprietors an idea of the reduction which had been made, they had given an estimate of the real and calculated expenses of both. From this comparison it appeared that the expenses of the last season bad been 45,2231., of which 26,6211. bad been paid for salaries. The whole expenses of the present season were estimated thus : calculated for expence of setnery, prope►ty, Salaries - - - - 26,62 Rent and taxes 3,00(1 Making. in all 40,039 Which would be less than the last season by►the sum of 5,18 , 1 It was also to be observed, that the real ex pence during the last season tor, property, &c. had been less than that calculated by the sum of 25001. The Report then went on to state soine of the inconveniences which had been experienced by the injunction obtained iu the Court of Chan cery, which, it observed, had tended in no way t o the benefit of the Proprietors at large. Of the final result of the plans which bad been adopted for carrying on the business of the present sea son, the house was not open long enough to en able the Cont nit tee to judge, but as tar as One season hail hitherto gone, it exceeded their ex pectations. They had to mention one circum stance which wa.; seldom► or never known before— that upwards of 2(10 persons had gone from the pit to the boxes, on the nights when the twirler was crowded, which would not have been the case if the prices of the hitter were not so much reduced. The Report went on to state, that the Sub- Committee only considered themselves as part of the General. Committee, and that they would, in that capacity, continue to make arrangements with the creditors of the Concern until such time as they were empowered, by Act of Parliament, to raise a sum fur liquidating the demands of the creditors. The CHAIIZMAN sai t, that there rasa Report from the General Committee, printed, which he supposed was its the hands of alt the Proprietors. Three or four Proprietors here complained that they had never seen it, but this was accounted for by the Secretary, who said that a copy was sent to those Proprietors ►chose address was known. The CHAIRMAN said, that as this was the annual Meeting, an account of the receipts and expences was upon the table, to which every Proprietor might refer. A PROPRICTOR asked, were all the expences of the last season included ? Mr. P. mooRE sAitl—Yes, all. PROPRIETOR —And paid ? Mr P. Moor.s.—Yes. as tar as could be. Mt. G. Loin again prt , ised that the Report of the Select Committre, which he held in his baud, should be tend. Mr. P. Moons objected to this, on the ground that it was a Committee whose powers were al ready extinct. The reading Of the Report might. tend to disturb that unanimity of action which was so necessary for the welfare of the concern; and if the Hon. Gentleman pressed his intention, be (Mr. Moore) should feel himself bound to take the sense of the meeiing upon it.
